This isn't a casual coaching call. It's a focused strategy session designed for professionals who know what they want and need a custom plan to get there.
You'll fill out a detailed intake form before we meet so I can review your background and come prepared. Our 60 minutes together are structured around whatever is most urgent for you — career transition strategy, interview preparation, skill roadmapping, job search positioning, or leveling up in your current role.

"As someone who is living in Germany, Marina was able to give me relevant advice for where I am, the people I deal with, and where I want to go. Friendly, insightful and full of great advice. Strong recommend."
"Marina provided very clear and practical guidance on how an engineer can transition into an AI engineer. She not only explained the overall direction and key skill gaps, but also shared many concrete and high-quality resources that are genuinely useful and actionable."
"Marina is a huge help and she helps where it's needed, she doesn't just follow some generic steps. Got the kick in the right direction, know what I need to work on to succeed with my business as a non tech person and gave me the right insights. Thanks Marina, will book again."
"Marina was super helpful. she provided nothing but insightful and personalized recommendations after listening to my goals and helped me to gain clarity while mapping out my journey. 5 start service for sure!"
"Marina was very informative, friendly and helpful! She laid out a very clear and structured path to help me work towards my goals!"
"I had a session with Marina regarding my roadmap to breaking into a data role, coming from a non-traditional background. She was incredibly insightful and kind throughout the call. Her advice was practical and encouraging, and I’m looking forward to continuing to work with her."
For professionals who want ongoing guidance, live access, and a structured path — not just a one-time session. You'll get monthly group coaching calls, priority Q&A, deep-dive walkthroughs of real AI/ML career scenarios, and a community of peers on the same path.
Self-paced learning tracks across three career paths — AI Engineer, ML Engineer, and ML-focused Data Scientist — plus curated resources, weekly written Q&A, and a peer community of people navigating the same path you are. Whether you're just getting started or filling specific gaps, Core gives you the structure and support to stop spinning your wheels.
If you have a specific, high-stakes situation — an upcoming interview, a career pivot you need to execute soon, or a role decision you're wrestling with — the 1:1 Strategic Advisory is designed for that. If you want ongoing guidance, live access to me, and a structured path, Guided is your best bet. If you're earlier in your journey and want to learn at your own pace with solid resources and community support, start with Core. You can always upgrade.
It's designed to be. The Guided membership gives you live access to me every month plus everything in Core — for ~10% the cost of a single 1:1 session. Core also gives you the chance to ask questions async every single week, and I’m constantly adding new resources to help you.
Go for it. The two aren't mutually exclusive. Many people use the community for ongoing support and book a 1:1 session when they hit a specific inflection point — like preparing for a final-round interview or deciding between competing offers.
Community memberships can be cancelled at any time. For 1:1 sessions, you can reschedule or cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. Details are on the booking page.
